How to stop CPU clock jumping on Galax H310M Warrior D4?

When building large bases, I noticed my CPU core clocks suddenly diving from 3.8GHz to 2.4GHz, which made fast camera turns feel incredibly choppy. The VRM on the Galax H310M Warrior just can't handle modern game loads, with temps hitting 92-98℃ and triggering a forced downclock. I first tried limiting the CPU power limit to 45W via software; while temps dropped to 75℃, the game loading times became painfully slow, which just ruined the experience. I ended up strapping an 80mm fan directly onto the VRM heatsinks and locked the RAM frequency at 2666MHz to take some pressure off the memory controller. HWInfo shows VRM temps are now stable at 78-84℃, and the clock jumping has stopped. I had a moment of panic when the fan didn't spin on the first boot due to a loose connector, but it's fine now. CPU temps are around 62-70℃. A 3-hour stress test confirms no more throttling.
